Gods of Prophecy: Part 3 of Daughter of Dreams

In Gods of Prophecy (Part 3 of Daughter of Dreams), Behrtith, a ghost, hides in Baebelle. At 14 years old, she is a Virgin cloistered in the Celestial Temple, dedicated to the Gods to ascend to Acolyte, Cenobite, Celestial. Not heavenly, Celestials. They are the most powerful Mind Witches known, passionless, ruthless, murderous, led by a Sibyl who secretly is an ancient liche named Harla. Behrtith knows of Harla, as does Perelle, the ghost of a past Sibyl. Baebelle, trained as a Preceptive and a Tark, has become a Preceptemotive and a Barban by living with and being tutored by Ravia (Part 2, The Swan Goddess), an Acolyte who is a highborn native Barban. They are in love, an alien passion in the Temple. They mean to escape, and for help, must get to Perelle, who hides in a crypt under the Temple. Trouble is, the Gods begin giving prophetic Oracles through Baebelle. It invests her as Celestial while yet a Virgin, too valuable to be let leave, and too powerful to be let live. Behrtith faces violation by one King and murder by another, and naive Baebelle learns how Gods, Kings, Sex and the Sibyl are deadly dangers to innocent virgins.
